Erman Kunter, Cholet Coach:

"We lost but we began to play better. The little rotation, in particular in the paint, used us physically. It is a good victory for Yuzhny tonight."

Claude Marquis, Cholet:

"This fourth defeat for us in 2008 is worrying, in spite of the good work which we made at practice this week. The game of this evening is encouraging but we missed opportunities in the key moments of the game. The Ukrainians have taken benefits from it and were more realistic in offence."

Dmitriy Bazelevskiy, Khimik Coach:

"It was the first game for us on the road this year and it was a bit difficult for us as we were not used to playing at this time. It was a big fight between both teams for rebounds, defence and in the paint."

Wykeen Kelly, Khimik:

"I was happy to scored 20 points tonight. Our team was very realistic on offence and it permitted us to win this game tonight. Our good job on defence and rebounds helped us to stop Cholet Basket's attack."
